Lin Qian and Elena went to the street, found a decent restaurant, and asked for a small private room on the second floor, and immediately a waiter came with a menu. These days, the two of them have eaten some wild fruits, and their mouths are extremely light, so they order the menu randomly, the more meaty things are, the more they want, and they order more than a dozen dishes in the blink of an eye.

The waiter finally couldn't stand it anymore: "I said two, how can you finish eating so much? I think we should recommend a few dishes to you, so you can try the craftsmanship of our chef." ”

"I want you to take care of so much, okay, just these dishes, none of them can be missing. "Princess Elena's temper is so bad that she doesn't care about other people's kindness, and her arrogance makes the waiter secretly embarrassed.

Lin Qian didn't care, this girl was not messing around for a day or two, and the two of them really had no oil and water in their stomachs for a while, so I am afraid that these dishes are not enough.

The waiter shook his head and thought to himself that he didn't know which nouveau riche this was, and a few of them would be extravagant and wasteful, and seeing them like that, he almost drooled over the menu on the spot.

The restaurant is very fast, but what is very surprising to the waiter is that when they go down and down a dish, they will always take back the plate of the previous dish, and there is always only one dish on the table, can it solve a dish so quickly? Although the amount of each dish in this restaurant is very small for the sake of profit, it is enough to eat for a while, like the speed of these two people eating, it is really like a pig eating a cow.

After more than a dozen dishes were served, Lin Qian and Elena also solved all the meals together, and let the waiter serve a few snacks and drinks, enjoying the food comfortably while listening to the chatter of outsiders.

"Have you heard? It's not been peaceful in the Blue City lately. ”

Lin Qian and Elena glanced at each other and listened intently together.

"It is said that after the prince succeeded to the throne, all the affairs of the court and China were handed over to those people in Nanyang. Those people are already dissatisfied with the people on our continent, and now they are arrogant, arrogant, and don't treat us as human beings at all!"

Elena was very displeased when she heard this, how to say that they were also her people, and it was really unbearable to be oppressed by others, but Lin Qian was quite suspicious of this. The Potlem of Nanyang is not stupid, he knows that he is a foreigner, and he will definitely discipline his subordinates strictly, so as not to arouse the anger of the people, and there is no reason to let the contradictions between the two races intensify. It is estimated that this source is not very reliable, maybe it is just a rumor that some businessmen are spreading because they are hindered from doing business.

Someone else took over the conversation: "I see, this Nanyang people are some cunning people, taking advantage of the princess's absence in the capital, they took advantage of the fire to rob, if the princess comes back, leading the newly unified family front to counterattack, will definitely be able to recapture the capital!"

The man from earlier said, "Yes, the Nanyang people are foreigners after all, so they should go back to their hometown." But it's strange to say that the magic guild in the blue city actually stood tall and started to make a living again, and the Nanyang people didn't care, but they didn't know whose pocket the money ended up into, maybe the Nanyang people were sitting behind the bank. ”

There were discussions below, saying that this must be the Nanyang people who had taken over the Magic Guild for their own use, and even speculated that the president Lin Qian and the Nanyang people had colluded together, and the occupation of the capital this time was his plan.

"Humph!"

Elena was about to go out to teach them a lesson when she heard that she was unhappy, but Lin Qian hurriedly grabbed her: "What are you talking about these people? ”

The two of them dropped a few gold coins, regardless of whether they were too many or not, and went downstairs directly, attracting a sideways look from the previous waiter.

It seems that everything is fine in the guild, Lin Qian is sure in his heart, this is his hard work, if it is destroyed, he will really have to find the Nanyang people desperately.

On the way back, Lin Qian couldn't help but ask, "Elena, have you thought about it?" If you fight back and occupy Canglan City, who will be the king?"

"Of course it's you...... No, it's not good. But I don't want to be a queen, so I have to let William be it. Elena thought for a moment before she changed her mind.

Lin Qian was embarrassed for a while, this girl king wants to let herself do it, but fortunately, she knows that this name is not right, and she is still aware of the current facts.

"Well, so if we send troops to attack this time, in what name?" Lin Qian asked again, now that the king is William, what is the point of them supporting William to ascend the throne?

"Whatever, those people in the South Seas are too hateful, and I don't want my people to be bullied. ”

Lin Qian smiled and asked: "How do you know that they will bully your people? They themselves are foreigners, so they naturally know the truth of buying the hearts of the people, I think I am afraid that they will also cut taxes to win over public opinion, and your beating will only make your people complain." ”

"Brother Lin, how can you help outsiders talk?" Elena was unhappy, if she hadn't stayed with Lin Qian for a long time, she would really have doubted Lin Qian's motives.

"Haha," Lin Qian smiled, "It's not that I'm helping outsiders, it's that I'm stating the facts." In fact, the people below don't care who rules the country, as long as life is good, isn't it the same who will be the king? Besides, the two sides are still fighting for the same king. ”

"And what do you mean?" said Elena, who was really going to start skeeping.

Lin Qian Zhengse said: "Attack the city for the bottom, attack the heart for the top." Even if you want to fight, you must find enough reasons to convince the people, otherwise you will only lose the hearts of the people, and in the end your people will complain about you. ”

Elena nodded as if she didn't understand, and asked again, "Brother Lin, have you thought of any legitimate reasons?"

"No, so I advise you not to go to war for the time being. ”

After the two came back, Xiao Yi and Sophia had already chatted for a long time and had a meal together, but Sophia still didn't show a smile when she saw Lin Qian.

Lin Qian knew that it would take some time for her to be out of breath, so he proposed, "If it's okay, let's go back to Bright City and meet Patriarch Benjamin first, I think he should already know the news of our return." ”

This is the right matter, the women have no opinion, and follow Lin Qian back to Guangming City in a carriage, of course, Lin Qian still sent someone to transport it all the way.

"Childe, is that skeleton anything important?" Xiao Yi asked curiously.

"Oh, it's the Right Hand of God, and this time we were able to get back from the center of the ice pole, thanks to it. ”

"Oh. Xiao Yi was in a trance for a while, and seemed to be a little absent-minded, but Lin Qian didn't notice this detail.

When everyone arrived in Guangming City, Benjamin was inevitably worried about it again, of course, what he was most worried about was his precious granddaughter, Lin Qian and Elena were just incidentals.

During dinner in the evening, Lin Qian also learned about the current situation from Benjamin. The northern family has all united the front, and the city where the Lamberts are located has been taken over by Benjamin, the Freeman family has been taken over by Sam, and the Muggis family has been taken over by Andre. Lin Qian's unification of the north this time was completely to help these three families eliminate the other four families, of course, he himself occupied the territory of the Calvin family, oh, and won the heart of a beauty, so it can be regarded as earning. However, Lin Qian's purpose is obviously far more than that.

"Since I have already made a marriage contract with Sophia, it is not wrong for me to call you grandpa, right?" Lin Qian first quietly brought the relationship between the two closer.

"Of course, the old man is about to climb high. Benjamin also politely replied.

"I want to set up a magic branch in Guangming City, I don't know if it's okay?" seemed like a simple request, but Lin Qian said it very carefully.

Benjamin, the old fox, saw Lin Qian's expression, and knew that there must be another mystery behind this matter, so he was not in a hurry to agree, but motioned to Lin Qian to say it in detail.

Lin Qian didn't nod when he saw him, knowing that this old guy was not easy to deceive, so he had to explain in detail: "I want to ask grandpa to personally serve as the president of this branch, and the manpower below is up to you, of course I will send some people to guide the specific work." I will do all the construction of the branch, and as for the profit, you will always take 60% and give me 4% every year. ”

Good guys! Send some people to guide the work, and every year the white wolf will take away 40% of the profits? Club building? Isn't it just buying a few houses? Behind it, it's completely your own work, and others take the money. Benjamin knew what Lin Qian's idea was as soon as he heard it, how could this make him happy?

"I said Lin Qian," Benjamin's title was also changed, and he regarded himself as the older generation, "I know it's your wish to build a branch, you have built in some big cities, and it's quite effective, I originally supported it, but are you collecting too much tax?" Benjamin directly hit the point, and hinted at Lin Qian with "tax", the empire's taxes are not so much!

Lin Qian had already prepared, pretended to be heartbroken for a while, and sighed: "Okay, just treat it as your grandson's filial piety to your old man, I'll take thirty percent, how do you look old?"

"No, at most one percent!" Benjamin was not polite to him, and directly called the lowest price.

"Then let's do it," Lin Qian thought about it for a long time before he said, "I'll take 20%, but Grandpa has to make a profit of at least 50,000 gold coins every year." Lin Qian put forward another condition.

Benjamin thought about it for a while, although Guangming City is not a particularly large city, but there are many residents, plus the surrounding towns and villages, it is very easy to earn 50,000 gold coins by providing magic help, referring to the income of some branches before Lin Qian, this is not a problem.

"Well, I can guarantee this, if it's not enough, I'll make up for it myself. Benjamin said confidently.

Lin Qian pretended to have a big loss on the surface, but in fact, he was very happy in his heart: "I don't need money every year, I let you guarantee that the annual profit is nothing more than I want you to operate with your heart, once the people here get used to the model of the magic guild, subtly, who else in your magic family will join? ”

"Then thank you grandpa for your support. Lin Qianxin said that he had another granddaughter and secretly disintegrated other people's families, did he not do a little unkind, so he tried to lower his posture in words, and he felt better in his heart.
