The more wise you are, the simpler it will become. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info this sentence, others don't know the specific meaning, but Melandiel, who has been taught by Zhong Medi since he was a child, and has been personally instructed by Esidor to be the way of king, knows what to do with the prompt of this sentence alone - let the powerful forces that support the emperor first mess up and get help in it.

In the struggle for power, it is one way to turn the other party's allies into one's own allies, and it is also one way to let the other party's self mess up first. However, Zhong Medi's approach to this sentence has played the best of both worlds. The specific practical way is, of course, to find help from the elven race.

Who will be the elven leader who is most disgusted with Helana? Who will be the elven leader who should be most grateful for his fair words? Who among the elven races is the most daring to speak and do, and who is not afraid of racial restraint? This elf is not difficult to find at all. On the day of his funeral a few months ago, he had sent a lavish condolence gift that was more than usual, and a few days earlier, he had been provoked by Hillana in person.

Helana, you're really good at turning allies into enemies.

With a meaningful smile, Merandil hurried back to the palace. Of course, he knew that in order to preserve the image of the race, such a thing as infighting had to be carried out in secret. What's more, once it is detected by humans or elves, it will inevitably arouse the vigilance of Arnoel's side, so that all the previous efforts will be wasted. That night, Merandiel, who had arranged state affairs, entered Changhe Town in disguise. Merandil himself did not expect that a year ago, Feiqi, the son of the nurse, was casually assigned to Changhe Town as the leader of the mercenaries, and now he could play such a big role.

In Merandiel's opinion, the Elven King should also be eager to contact him with his suggestion, join forces to make Xilana pay, and by the way, let the future Emperor of the People accept a lesson. Therefore, as long as you take the initiative to get in touch with the Elf King, the Elf King will rush to the front in the future, and you can completely hide behind your back. But the truth is, imagination is too good.

As soon as he arrived at the woodland kingdom, he pounced directly. Melandiel suppressed his anxiety and made Feige ask the woodland officials to visit the Elven King. For this reason, Merandil thought about it all night, and didn't even mind really giving the elf king a huge benefit. The reason for this is the right to import all timber in the Kingdom of Gondor.

Unexpectedly, the trade excuse that Merandil thought was lucrative enough was not passed on to the Elven King, but was directly rejected by the woodland trade officials.

"All the timber of Gondor is bought from woodland, and the temptation of this trade is great. The woodland officer smiled modestly, but kept shaking his head. "Thank you for your sincerity. I'm sure you have also seen that there are no mature trees in the woodland, and the saplings purchased from the forest are still being planted in our country, and there is no adult timber for sale. Our Majesty has also explained that we are not allowed to cut down any trees in the country for 100 years. Comparing the benefits of trade, both our founding fathers and ourselves believed that the opportunity to recuperate and grow in war-torn forests was more important than trade. ”

Damn, why didn't I think of that?, Merendil lowered her head and kept blaming herself.

After entering the woodland, I didn't see many tall trees, and I met a lot of elves planting saplings along the way. If I was a normal person, I would have thought that the forest had been destroyed by the war, and the timber trade was no longer possible. How could they come up with a trade excuse that would be rejected directly when they arrived at the woodland officials?What should they do next, so that the information could be conveyed to the elven king through the officials, so that the elven king could find out that he had the intention of taking the initiative to make friends and return home from the lonely mountain as soon as possible? Patting Feige on the shoulder, suggesting that he continue to talk to the officials, Merandil began to think calmly. Surprisingly, it was the dutiful woodland officials who found him a better explanation.

The trade officials who followed the new king of the woodlands for nearly a decade were also somewhat influenced by Thrandil's trade talents. Although the woodland official was very sorry that he could not obtain the right to monopolize the trade of the import of Gondor timber, he found a wealth far greater than this trade - the Dandon people in front of him! The Dandon people who could decide the timber imports of the Gondor Kingdom were either liars or had special statuses that could determine or influence the trade orientation of a country. It is for this reason that trade officials come to interview the unidentified human beings.

With an even more respectful smile, the woodland official even bowed slightly to his unassuming Feige. "Thank you again for your kindness to the Woodland Kingdom. Although our country cannot trade with you for the time being, the Woodland Kingdom and our Majesty are willing to be friends with all traders. If you don't mind, can you reveal your identity to you? Your Majesty, perhaps, will meet with you in person to discuss trade. ”

"He was the only son of King Gondor's nurse. Merendil changed his low profile and took a step before Feige. In order to make the Elven King better understand his intentions, he even walked to Feiqi and said patiently to the woodland officials: "His mother has always been treated favorably by the current king of Gondor and is respected in the palace of Gondor King. He also has a deep affection for the current king of Gondor, and has the right to meet the king in person without having to pass it on. ”

The eyes of the woodland officials lit up instantly, but they soon filled with deep doubts. Fortunately, the only suspicion was dispelled by Merandiel's later words.

Melandiel, disguised as an ordinary soldier, swore an oath: "His name is Feiqi, and he has been managing the mercenaries of Gondor in Long River for two years. You can confirm his identity through Mayor Changhe. “

At the suggestion of the Elven King and the facilitation of the late Third Prince of Denden, the town of Long River did hire a team of Gondor to be in charge of the joint defense. Trade officials have heard about it, too. And the identity verification only needs to go through the mayor of Changhe Town, and the forest land officials no longer have any reason to be suspicious. After instructing the attendants in the manor to raise the standard of reception for Feige and his party, the woodland officials made an excuse and hurried away.

Merandiel knew that the officials would verify Feiqi's identity as soon as they left, and then pass the information on to the Elven King. Next, the Elven King will inevitably meet Feiqi.

From the perspective of trade, a king with a bit of a brain would not lightly miss the creatures that can determine the trade rights of a kingdom. The setting of the trade reception area of the woodland kingdom shows that the king's trade policy is to "give up short-term profits and focus on the long-term". He certainly will not miss the opportunity to establish diplomatic relations.
