"Of course, the Emperor has made a promise, and Monty has helped us to relieve the siege, and I should fulfill my promise to cede Yunhai Town and the surrounding waters to the Monty Empire, so that you can open a port and transport Snow Country supplies back to Azethea. ”

When he said this, Nangong Yunfan's face was pale, and he clutched his sword tightly to vent his dissatisfaction.

Greenland's words were cold, and he always took it for granted.

That strong tone seemed to emphasize to Nangong Yunfan that if the Snow Country refused to fulfill the content of the agreement, then the Monty Knights would be able to destroy the Snow Country within half a day.

This is not a negotiation, it is not a peace talk, this is a predation built on civilization **/naked plunder, which is more hateful than justifiable aggression.

As soon as the new emperor ascended the throne, he ceded the territory, which was really a shame that disgraced the ancestors.

But in this regard, Nangong Yunfan was helpless.

If there is no Chen Feng's help, Snow Country will be buried in the hands of the rebels, and since the agreement has been signed, it can only be accepted painfully.

"It's very good, the Knights of Monty will take over Yunhai Town one day. ”

Greenland glanced at Beta and asked her to immediately lead the army back to Yunhai Town to repair.

"Emperor Nangong, this Yunhai town will always be the territory of the Snow Country, and the Monty Knights are only temporarily stationed, and they will withdraw their troops after it builds a port, and then the management will be handed over to the royal family. ”

Chen Feng could understand Nangong Yunfan's mood at this moment, so he took the initiative to make a promise to him.

A civilized country that has stood for thousands of years will never be willing to cede its territory, Chen Feng didn't want Nangong Yunfan to do this, and explained it to him clearly in advance, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings.

"Monty helped the Snow Country to suppress the chaos, it's just a sea of clouds town, what about giving it to you?" was pierced in his mind, Nangong Yunfan deliberately pretended not to care.

"It's the right to use, not the ownership, in the maritime trade, it's up to the Patrol Division and the Snow Country Royal Family, and I, as the supreme governor, have the absolute right. ”

This sentence is to explain to Nangong Yunfan that on the issue of Yunhai Town and the territory, Chen Feng's decision-making power takes precedence over Commander Greenland.

And a long time ago, Chen Feng said to Nangong Lin that he preferred mutually beneficial trade to brutal and rude aggression.

After a brief explanation, Chen Feng said goodbye and followed the knights back to Yunhai Town.

When Nangong Lin led the border army into the town, he burned down houses and slaughtered local residents, and now only one ruin remains.

Although it has experienced the baptism of heavy artillery fire, the general outline of Yunhai Town is still alive.

When he first arrived here, Chen Feng established a tailor shop and a stocking factory, and he didn't keep any of the money he earned, all of which was used for the construction of Yunhai Town, which once made this border town once catch up with the imperial capital and become a household name.

Even a three-year-old child knows that the stockings are made in Yunhai Town, which is a mysterious and dangerous place.

After two years, the previous efforts can finally come in handy.

Later, Yunhai Town was renamed Yunhai Port. ”

After the opening of the sea route, Chen Feng ordered someone to draw a nautical chart by hand, starting from the port of Monti Patrol Division, passing through the port of Whale Fall Island and the Somari Strait, and finally arrived at the port of Yunhai.

The route map of the voyage was soon reached by Leah, who issued an edict in the name of Monty the Great, bringing the news to every corner of Azethea.

As soon as the news came out, the whole country was excited.

"Do you know? A pound of gold can only be exchanged for half a pound of white noodles in the Monty Empire, but in the distant Snow Country, it can be exchanged for three hundred catties of steamed buns!"

"No, I've heard that the Snow Country is also rich in medicinal herbs, and many of the scarce herbs that are regarded as treasures in the Monty Empire can be found everywhere like weeds. ”

"The most important thing is that Lord Chen Feng has won enough benefits for us, the two ports of Whale Fall and Yunhai are free of charge, no customs fees are charged, and even taxes are exempted, and ah, as long as it is a merchant ship under the banner of Monty, no matter what the scale is? ”

Smelling the business opportunity, the nobles and the children of the families all sold their property and shipbuilding, carrying gold, silver and cheap goods, and peddling them to the snow country.

Then use the money you earn to buy local bargains and sell them back to the Monty Empire.

The typical middleman makes the difference!

If it's so upside down, it's a huge profit!

However, due to the distance between Monty and Snow Country for thousands of miles, the road was rough and unpredictable, and the sailing alone had to be adrift at sea for several months.

Fat is in front of you, but there are very few people who have the strength to share it.

Only in this way can there be no unrest.

On the one hand, it can help Monty dump the hoarded stocks, and on the other hand, it can also allow the snow country goods to flow into Azerosia, which can effectively solve the problem of food shortage.

However, Chen Feng was only exempted from import and export duties, and when the goods were sold in Monti or Snow Country, they still needed to pay taxes, which were all under the control of the Patrol Division, which was insignificant compared to the income earned.

Money is small, but it can add up.

The following year, Chen Feng received information from Emperor Leah the Great that due to the increase in taxes, the total revenue brought by the Sea Patrol Division to the treasury last year was twice as high as the year before.

According to the current situation, within two or three years, the Patrol Division will be able to return to its original profit and earn back all the 40 billion yuan.

As trade between the two countries gradually stabilized, Chen Feng fulfilled his promise to withdraw the Knights to Azesia, leaving only 4,000 new troops to maintain the normal operation of the port.

Some people rejoice, others worry!

Snow Country is forbidden to the sea all year round, and there are not even small fishing boats, let alone warships, and ocean voyages cannot be done at all, so they can only watch Monty merchants make a lot of money.

Large quantities of gold and silver flowed into the Snow Country, causing copper plates to depreciate rapidly and become less and less valuable.

The frequent outflow of strategic materials such as grain, medicinal materials, and iron tools has seriously threatened the safety of the empire.

"Your Majesty, please take a look, this is the design blueprint of the firebolt, when cleaning the battlefield, the old minister searched from Nangong Lin's body, even without the weapons of the Monty Knights, the rebels can make a firebolt with a longer range and stronger than the crossbow arrows. ”

Qin Lan presented a bloodstained design drawing to Nangong Yunfan.

This drawing has been kept in Qin Lan's study, hanging on the wall as a ghost drawing, until he met the deputy general who surrendered to the royal family next to Nangong Lin, and learned that this was the design drawing of the weapon firearm.

"Commander Qin Lan, what do you mean by this?"

"Your Majesty!" Qin Lan withdrew his guards and closed the gate of Luan Palace.

"The agreement signed with Monty must be torn up, otherwise the Snow Country will be emptied by Monty traders!"

Seeing Nangong Yunfan hesitating, Qin Lan struck while the iron was hot, "In the whole year of last year alone, more than seven million catties of grain flowed out of the Snow Country, and nearly half of the country's harvest was transported to Azesia. ”

"And Chen Feng has never given new weapons to the Snow Country, if the value is squeezed out one day, he will kick us away, relying on the cold weapons in our hands alone, there is no match for guns. ”

"So, you want to?"

Qin Lan's thoughts were the same as Nangong Yunfan's.

As the new emperor, it is indeed a shame to let the alien race act recklessly on the ancestral territory.

"According to Lao Chen's observation, there are only 4,000 knights in Yunhai Town, and when we have firearms, we can fight with their new weapons, capture Chen Feng and Greenland alive, and force the Monty Empire to hand over the forging method of new weapons.

The safety of the country is all in your thoughts, please make a decision?"

"Then do what you think, remember, do it secretly, don't startle the snake. ”

"Obey orders! Please rest assured that Your Majesty will live up to his mission!"

Qin Lan left Luan Palace, privately gathered a group of elite craftsmen, and went to the northern desert, where he secretly developed firecrackers.
