43. Chapter 43
The results of the trade cooperation negotiations with the Huang Empire were quickly sent to An Le's table, and he opened it and looked at it casually, these days he has signed some trade cooperation agreements between the alliance and various countries, and the Huang Empire has obviously been optimistic about things for a long time, and secretly rubbed the draft.
Even if she doesn't allow trade cooperation to be opened, she should think of other ways after she goes back, there is no official cooperation agreement, but there is no ban on private transactions, for example, hiring caravans to enter the alliance and send them back to the Huang Empire according to the prepared list of purchased items, divided into many batches, and dispersed procurement, which can greatly avoid being discovered, originally the Huang Empire is the largest foreign trade market of the alliance, and the hired caravans are not conspicuous in it, but it will be more troublesome to do so.
Although a peaceful coexistence agreement was signed, the reputation of the Huang Empire was poor, from an objective point of view, it was obvious that it was more beneficial to the alliance to suppress the development of the Huang Empire, and the other party did not have hope of getting the official permission of the alliance to make large-scale purchases in large quantities.
An Le stared at the trade agreement on the table for a long time without turning the page, and the fugue was too empty.
"The result of the negotiation with the trade of the Huang Empire is not in line with the alliance leader's wishes?" Mu Yanran asked cautiously.
Hearing her voice, An Le finally came back to his senses, "No, I'm just happy, I didn't expect it to be so soon." ”
"Presumably, the people of the Huang Empire were shocked by our prosperity when they visited the Alliance, and secretly pondered to follow suit. Other countries basically use inefficient human labor, half the effort, heavy workload, hard and heavy labor for a whole day to harvest little, so some countries must maintain the slavery system to ensure that the labor force meets the demand, only our Northern Alliance has invested a lot of material resources in research and development to improve productivity, not only do not need slaves, even civilians can be freed from heavy work, have more free time, less work, high efficiency, more personal income, drive economic development, other countries must not have such a developed entertainment industry as the Northern Alliance。 Mu Yanran smiled gently and warmly, and her eyes were soft.
"After all, it was a period of transition from slavery to feudalism, and low productivity was entirely to be expected. An Le nodded, "Heavenly Creations" is also a work of the Ming Dynasty, known as the encyclopedia of Chinese craftsmanship in the 17th century, and it is completely called a masterpiece in this era. It's a surprise that such a book can be found in the library that comes with the Gang Territory system. This will not be able to increase productivity, not to mention that the mud cannot support the wall, it is simply hopeless.
An Le lowered his head, looked through the agreement, signed his name at the end, and was done.
Next, the Northern Alliance and the Huang Empire will enter the honeymoon period, as long as there is no chaos, they can follow the rules.
The alliance has invested a lot of material resources in the development of manpower to liberate manpower from tedious, heavy and inefficient labor, so that the work is twice the result with half the effort, improve productivity, and convenient tools have driven the productivity of all countries in the world with trade, and flourished. Assuming that the only thing to do is to put aside the Huang Empire and impose a blockade on the Huang Empire and suppress the development of the Huang Empire, then what will be obtained will not be peace, but a tragic war launched by the Huang Empire against the world with all its strength in the future, even if it wants to stand on the opposite side of the world and be the enemy of the whole world.
The Huang Empire has a bad reputation for aggression everywhere, and the Northern Alliance has also imposed a technological blockade on the Huang Empire, and the countries that take advantage of the alliance to improve productivity must not mind the blockade of the Huang Empire, because this country really has a reason to be vigilant.
Even if the alliance doesn't actually mean this, but he is not willing to cooperate with the Huang Empire, a good friend who has signed a peaceful coexistence agreement on the surface, why ask other countries not to follow the example of the Northern Alliance, people are not looking at the face of the alliance to push it easily, because of this, it is simply unreasonable to accuse other countries, which is equivalent to invisibly creating economic sanctions against the Huang Empire.
Seeing the Huang Empire being left behind by the world, watching the Huang Empire being squeezed out, watching the Huang Empire being subjected to economic sanctions day after day and year after year, Lu Xun said that if it does not break out in silence, it will perish in silence, and it is strange that Lian Hongyan, a war maniac, does not draw his sword to fight, and besides, other countries have developed, only the Huang Empire is standing still, and the national strength is becoming more and more disparity, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no other thoughts, such as biting off a piece of meat from the Huang Empire, a country with a large land and resources, and establishing a concession colony or something.
There are lessons from World War II, so even if you divide the broth to maintain balance, you can't miss the Huang Empire.
Anyway, it is necessary to establish trade cooperation, simply be generous, don't let the peaceful coexistence agreement become a piece of waste paper, the Northern Alliance is reputable and principled, and it has brushed the credibility and prestige of all countries in the world, and also the credibility of the Huang Empire. As she said, the countries of the world have increased their productivity, and their comprehensive national strength will be stronger, and the alliance cannot be more sincere, regardless of the past suspicions, but the Huang Empire wants to tear up the agreement and make a comeback, which will only make their reputation worse, and it will only be easier to build a world united front when the time comes.
As an ambassador of peace, why not sell personal favors to brush up credibility and balance the situation.
Alas......
Once you start thinking about these things in your mind, you can't stop, standing on the shoulders of giants can't help but let your brain fly freely, the above are the results of your own brain supplement, but when you think of the reasons for World War II, you can't do nothing at all, and then think of the Huang Empire full of Han style being bullied and oppressed by other developed countries, establishing a concession colony or something, being ridden to the head, completely unbearable!
The imagination is too rich to stop, and all kinds of pictures are like galloping wild horses.
An Le stretched and leaned back, his eyes looking at the ceiling, emptying his brain.
"Regarding Barbad, I don't know what the alliance leader's arrangements are?" Mu Yanran asked.
"Hmm...... I'll go there myself. An Le said casually.
was immediately strongly opposed by Mu Yanran.
"How can Barbad bother the leader of the alliance to go out in person. Mu Yanran was taken aback, her gentle and gentle expression showed anxiety, and she tried her best to dispel the idea of being happy, "Your body is just right, you have been working hard for the affairs of the alliance in recent days, and you should have a good rest when the affairs are over for the time being." Since the death of the previous king and the accession of a new king to the throne, Barbad's domestic economy has been declining rapidly, and the situation has been getting worse. I didn't even know that my country's economy was controlled by the Huang Empire, and I stepped into the trap step by step, and now I want to marry the Huang Empire, and unconsciously offer Barbad's hands. ”
Mu Yanran bit her lip and lowered her head, "With all due respect, the alliance leader was ambushed by unscrupulous gangsters in Luochang not long ago, and now Barbad is almost in the pocket of the Huang Empire, I am afraid that there are also people in that organization who are active in Barbad, the Huang Empire is used to using this method, first sending spies to prepare for invasion, and then cooperating with the army to take down the target of aggression in one fell swoop, if you encounter ...... again"
"If the Alliance Leader wants to establish trade cooperation with Barbad no matter what, please send Lu Aoqi to go and complete the mission!"
The corners of An Le's mouth twitched, if Barbad didn't have Elsamé's people, it would be better to say, if there was, you can imagine that kind of scene, Lu Aoqi and Elsamé fought and tore chicken feathers all over the ground, turning Barbad into a second Lochan, this is the establishment of diplomatic relations or a feud. Mu Yanran was worried that she understood, a large number of Heluff gatherings could easily affect her mind, and Elsamme was the best at using Heluff, she went out twice because of this power, and this time it didn't take long to let her out of sight in a short time. Elsamme is the power of the Huang Empire, and Barbad is controlled by the Huang Empire's economy, crumbling, and will not let her go.
"Are you worried that I'll fall for El Samey's plot again?" An Le propped up his chin with one hand.
Mu Yanran was silent, and seemed to acquiesce.
"Twice because of Heluff, the heart demon went berserk, and then the next time I don't know if I can save it, the heart demon storm is dangerous, and the attack again and again for the same reason proves that Heluff has a catalytic effect on the heart demon, which is equivalent to being caught by the other party The Achilles heel. Are you worried about this?"
"We can't tolerate any possibility of losing the Comfort Lord, who is the reason for our existence. When Lord An Le went to the Huang Empire to play and relax, we didn't know that El Same's lair was in the Huang Empire, but now we understand, knowing that there may be deadly danger ahead, how can we watch Lord An Le go. Mu Yanran tried her best to control her feelings and avoid losing her temper because she was too excited.
An Le looked at her, was silent for a long time, and finally sighed deeply, "It's because my usual cousin is too unreliable, so I can't rest assured at all?"
"How could it be, I am impressed by Lord Anle's thoughtful vision and long-term vision. Mu Yanran's anxious and nervous expression eased down, revealing a smile of honor, "Xianyang City declared war on Luochang City, and we only thought of taking down the head of the emperor Lian Hongde, eradicating the imperial family of the Huang Empire, and carrying out a devastating blow to Luochang in order to retaliate against El Same's audacity, which is not as far-reaching as Lord An Le thought. It is worthy of being our alliance leader, and if you don't make a sound, you will be a blockbuster. ”
"Yan Ran has never doubted Lord Anle's ability, but ......" Mu Yanran raised her hand and pressed her heart, her face full of sadness, "To this day, Yan Ran is still in shock, Lord An Le has suffered the same plot again, he was seriously injured, and he was motionless, as long as he recalled this picture, his heart was like a knife, and he wanted to break the bold El Sami into pieces to relieve the hatred in his heart." ”
"Yanran knew that it was an unreasonable request, and as a subordinate, she tried in vain to disobey Lord An Le with her stupid views, but ......" Mu Yanran knelt down, leaned down, and her voice was choked, "Please take care of yourself, Lord An Le!"
There was silence in the study, and An Le stared at Mu Yanran for a long time.
"Get up. ”
Mu Yanran stood up obediently, standing up as before, with an elegant posture, even if her face was covered with tears, she didn't look wolf at all.
An Le leaned forward on the table, staring ahead. This desk has only recently begun to play a role, and it used to be almost an ornament, and she signed one document after another on this table, each of which was about the major events of the alliance, and she also read on this table at night, reading all kinds of materials of the Northern Alliance, trying to understand the situation as much as possible and play a little role in the future of the alliance.
The Northern Alliance has been established for several years, and it was only recently that she had a little bit of the appearance of being the leader of the alliance, what was she doing before?
Idle, regard himself as a stable dìng mascot of the Northern Alliance, a spiritual symbol, in order to overcome the demons in the heart, try to achieve a breakthrough in the state of mind through guò thinking, and also try to adapt to the cultivation of the Jindan period through guò retreat, ignore the things outside the window, and keep to himself.
I haven't even been a village head, why do I think I can become the country's biggest leader to lead the development of the alliance and run to the ideal township of happiness and happiness, and I can do what I can do for the alliance, I can't help, at least don't make trouble, it's also a good thing to focus on cultivation, if you become a real and real master of the Jindan period, you can also sit in the alliance and become a tough backstage.
She thought she was doing a good job, but it turned out to be so difficult for the people who cared about her. "I don't think I've ever had a good talk with you. An Le lay on the table and said quietly.
Even if it's an NPC liberated by herself, it's actually not very familiar with it at first, isn't it, personality, ability, gender, and appearance are all brought by the system, and the loyalty they pay makes her feel at ease, but there is always a layer of distance between them.
"Lord Anle......" Mu Yanran was at a loss.
Seeing her like this, An Le raised his hand to cover his eyes, "I'm sorry for worrying you." ”
Mu Yanran's eyes widened, nervous and didn't know what to do, she was terrified, "It's all Yanran who said things that shouldn't be said, and please forgive Lord Anle!"
…… So how do you talk about your heart?!
An Le reluctantly put down his hand and sat up straight, "I mean seriously, it's my fault for not taking into account your feelings. ”
Mu Yanran still looked frightened, cramped and uneasy, like a child who had done something wrong, and only in front of An Le, the shrewd and capable Secretary General Mu Da would be so at a loss and cautious.
"I see your efforts in my eyes, very powerful, in a short period of time to develop the Northern Alliance to the current scale, such as a rising star, if it were me, I would definitely not be able to do it, I have always thought so, I feel that I have been deeply compared, very inferior, I really can't think of other ideas except to keep to myself, at least to be a competent mascot to shine, gather people's hearts, occasionally like a director of land and finance, carefree. ”
"People's potential may really need to be persecuted, born in sorrow and die in peace, don't worry about anything but achieve nothing, the effect of crossing the heart demon is low, and adapting to cultivation is barely a look. Not long ago, I realized that once I am gone, the alliance may fall, and once I am gone, the millions of people living in the alliance do not know what fate will suffer, and if I am gone, you may go crazy, and I finally decided to force myself not to learn. It's really started, and I understand more intuitively, how much effort you have put into the alliance and how much effort you have made, just because of my first words. ”
Recalling the opening of the gang's territory, to the bits and pieces of the present, An Le showed a smile to Mu Yanran, his eyebrows and eyes have never been so gentle, "The person who denied himself from the beginning is me, I don't even have the courage to fight, I think I am an ordinary person, I just want to keep my own secrets, so it's normal for me to have demons, it's too incompatible with the cultivation of the Jindan period." ”
"I've never been so sober as I am now, and I've never been so fortunate that I have a group of good subordinates, loyal subordinates, and irreplaceable lovely subordinates. ”
"You are my most solid backing, and it is also my goal in the future, if I want to be a competent alliance leader, there are still many things to learn, so ......"
An Le stood up and walked to Mu Yanran, the little Lori was much shorter than Secretary General Mu Da, and she made a strong step to let her raised hand naturally rest on the other party's shoulder, looked straight ahead, and said sincerely: "Please study hard, let yourself become a real person, and live your own life." ”
"I declare that from now on you will no longer be NPCs, but my subordinates, loyal and reliable pillars of the Alliance!"
NPC…… Yes, NPC, the so-called NPC is just a program of the game, and they are flesh and blood will cry and laugh, what is the difference between being free from the shackles of the game system and real people, facing the reality of the dragon soul, the resentment of the other party goes straight to the bottom of her heart, because it is no longer possible to treat NPC as a simple game program, so it will be confused, repeatedly tortured and questioned their position, and has a sense of guilt. Then from now on, they are no longer NPCs, completely distinguishing the game from reality, even if it originates from the system at the beginning, when they are realization, and when they gain themselves, they are different, they are newly born beings.
From the moment she agreed to become the leader of the alliance, the Northern Alliance was her responsibility, and it became her responsibility to make them realize that they were born in this world.
It is precisely because she figured this out that she was able to wake up from the coma after the heart demon ran out so quickly, and the heart demon that had been at a loss and slowly expanding shrank, and it was her first success, she thought that this mood only belonged to herself, as long as she understood, but she still ignored their mood, it was too clumsy.
This is the first time she has said to her subordinates who have always firmly supported her, she is not a person who likes to analyze her psychology to others, she should be embarrassed, but the other party is too supportive, diluting her embarrassment.
"Lord Anle......" Mu Yanran was moved, and tears of excitement slowly flowed.
"Not just to you, my words, but to all my subordinates who have always supported me. ”
Mu Yanran seemed to want to say something, as if she opened her mouth and couldn't make a sound, her tears flowed even more fiercely.
"I'm a troublesome guy, and I've got a lot of faults. An Le smiled bitterly.
"How come, Lord Anle also has his own considerations, and has always been considerate of everyone in his own way. Mu Yanran wiped her tears in a panic, calmed down, and finally found her voice, her smile seemed to be much easier all of a sudden, and the feeling of seeing the sunrise through the clouds was the dignified and decent Secretary General Mu Da, "Learning is not enough, and it is our honor to be able to do our best for Lord Anle." ”
Speaking of which, An Le also felt as if some kind of invisible barrier had disappeared, and secretly sighed that he was really a guy who was good at self-deception, and he was still very slow.
"I want to go to Princess Ruby's wedding. ”
"Yes. This time, she didn't encounter any obstacles, Mu Yanran smiled, "Since it is the alliance leader's order, Yanran should obey it, Princess Hongyu is a rare friend who can talk to the alliance leader, and the gifts to congratulate the wedding must be thicker." Barbad did not send invitations to other countries for the wedding, but he was expected to understand the Alliance's intentions. ”
"El Samey must also have someone in Balbad, please be sure to bring enough guards, and not only bring Peony and Guan Qingming like the previous time. ”
"I see, you can arrange it. ”
"Yes. Mu Yanran respectfully obeyed.
The talk is over, the Huang Empire has no need to continue to stay, and it is time to leave for China.
An Le is committed to psychological communication with his own group of subordinates, and found that he basically has the same mentality of gaining and losing as Mu Yanran, after saying it, the atmosphere between him and them has become much better, no longer like before, standing in front of her always has a feeling of trembling and cautious to please, except for words such as good, can, and okay, once he doubts something, he seems to be a little dissatisfied, and he immediately kneels down to ask for sin, so tired of talking, and it feels difficult to communicate.
Then, the alliance ushered in a guest, Lian Bai Ying, the first empress of the Huang Empire.
Her purpose was to visit her younger brother who had been invited to stay in the Northern Alliance to practice the White Dragon, and An Le nodded and agreed.
After meeting, the atmosphere between Lian Baiying and Lian Bailong was not good.
"Why would you rather stay in the Northern Alliance than come back, Bailong?" Lian Bai Ying's face was puzzled, and she was anxious, feeling that her younger brother had roasted himself on the fire, and ordered it to be called cultural exchange, but in fact, he was a hostage at all, and his life was completely in the hands of others, if there was a case!
"I have to escape from Lian Hongde's surveillance, otherwise, I can't do anything. Lian Bailong was silent for a moment and said.
Lian Baiying was shocked that he actually called the emperor by his name, and was secretly shocked by his words, "What's the matter with my father's surveillance?"
"Since Lian Hongde ascended the throne as emperor, I have been under his surveillance, my sister will not understand, his throne is not justified, as long as I am still here, it is a threat. As long as I express the slightest dissatisfaction, or want to regain the throne, I am afraid that I will die long ago. ”
"Even if that's the case, it's ...... to stay in the Northern Alliance!"
"I need strength, I can't do anything at all while staying in the palace, just practicing Hongde's surveillance makes me breathless, a weak prince can only be slaughtered!"
"In that case, wouldn't it be good to go to the labyrinth, I will help you, His Royal Highness Hongyan will definitely not be stingy with help, didn't Jodar say that you can go to the labyrinth now. Lian Baiying looked anxious, and wanted to convince her younger brother not to do stupid things.
"I don't want to use the power of that organization, and I don't want to use the power of Lian Hongde's lineage!" Lian Bailong stared at his sister, word for word.
Lian Bai Ying's breath was suffocated, and she suddenly found that she didn't know her brother very well, she didn't know that there were so many things buried in his heart, she didn't know that he was under such heavy pressure, and he was never really happy when he stayed in the palace, so he left the palace and stayed in the alliance thousands of miles away, only to see the other side of his brother hidden.
After a long time, she asked with a complicated face: "Bailong, do you want to become the emperor?"
"If I want to be the emperor, isn't it a matter of course, the throne originally belonged to my brother, but it was Lian Hongde who snatched it, and my brother is gone, and it is not Lian Hongde's turn to be the emperor. Lian Bailong had a cold face and did not deny it, "As a prince, taking back the throne from the hands of the usurper, it should not be taken for granted anyway. ”
“…… No, no, if you do this, it will cause civil strife in the Huang Empire. ”
Lian Bailong mocked, "The father died, the crown prince and the second brother died, and I didn't see how turbulent the country was, and everyone quickly accepted that the new emperor was Lian Hongde." ”
"......" Lian Baiying was speechless, the major event that should have caused turmoil in the court quickly disappeared like a stone sinking into the sea, and then Lian Hongde became the emperor, and the throne inherited by the only surviving prince Lian Bailong should have been lost to another family.
At that time, she was still young, and she was a princess, and her mother became the queen again, and took her and her younger brother into the palace, sad, and finally relieved, and her younger brother was a prince, a prince with orthodox inheritance, and the situation was completely different from her. Thinking about it carefully, she hasn't seen Bailong often since then, I thought it was because the emperor had changed, and living in the palace as a righteous daughter and son was different from her own father being the emperor, but now that I think about it, maybe I deliberately isolated her from Bailong.
"I can't let go of the fact that my two brothers were burned alive in front of me, how many times did I dream about the scene at midnight, and the souls of my brothers told me about their anger and resentment! I would rather stay in the Northern Alliance than go back to the noses of the usurpers, day after day, year after year, trembling and dying!" Lian Bailong's expression was extremely cold, as if he had torn off all the disguises and vented the rotten resentment in his heart.
Queen Lian Bai Yingcang took a step back, in addition to heartache, there was also self-blame, she didn't even know the pain in Bai Long's heart all along, and thought that with the passage of time, her impression of her childhood faded and she accepted her current family.
She stared at Lian Bailong, as if she wanted to keep this appearance of him in her heart, and the more she looked at it, the more she blamed herself and felt heartache.
"I see, if you don't want to go back, you won't go back, but if you're trying to cause a civil war in order to snatch the throne, I can't agree to it anyway. It was not easy to unify the three kingdoms and settle down, and they must not be divided again. ”
"Sister also thinks that Lian Hongyan is the heir that everyone expects?" Lian Bailong asked coldly.
"The unification of the Three Kingdoms is the first generation...... It is our father's ideal, and His Highness Hongyan has realized this ideal. Lian Baiying didn't answer, and said something that seemed unrelated.
Lian Bailong was silent for a while, and finally turned around, "I know, sister, go back." The day I returned to the Huang Empire, it must be the day when I had the ability to do what I wanted to do. ”
This is a dangerous declaration, Lian Bai Ying raised his hand, and finally put it down.
Hearing the sound of his sister slowly leaving, Lian Bailong's face sank like water, he didn't mean to stimulate his sister, but these words were not held in his heart for many years, maybe it was the first time in so many years to open his mind to his sister to make it clear, it was a pity to break up unhappily.
He asked the alliance leader to stay in the alliance, saying that Lian Hongde is a usurper, so he must be the way he should be, in fact, the person he really wants to kill the most should be that woman, the culprit who assassinated his father, set fire to the two brothers, and played the Huang Empire in the palm of his hand!
This resentment, he has endured to take root and sprout, and he can no longer get rid of it!
