"Hehehehe, I heard that the Elven Federation plans to launch a comprehensive cooperation with His Royal Highness the Regent?"

The sweet jujube has already been eaten, and if you say something difficult to hear, you will not tear your face lightly, and the royal clerk of Yaling leaned forward at this time and questioned Luo Zhengdao. For this question, the traverser who had been prepared for a long time expressed his eagerness very easily, and anyway, he did not do anything unseemly, and replied:

"Yes, they sent messengers to talk to me about it."

"What does Your Highness think of this Jianyì?"

Knowing that it was time to make his position clear, Luo Zhengdao restrained his smile and said in a low tone:

"At no time will I trade principles, human affairs are up to human beings to decide."

As soon as he heard this, the royal clerk understood that there would be no good fruit to eat when the Elven Federation came to dig into the wall, and what a tough negotiator Will Needham was, and Yaling had personally learned how powerful it was, and the career diplomats of the Elven Federation would not be much better than their Yaling counterparts.

"Hehehehe, Your Highness, you have always been so humorous."

Complimenting the other party with deep meaning, the clerk said slowly with a professional smile on his face:

"Her Majesty looks forward to deepening her cooperation with Her Highness."

Hearing this, Luo Zhengdao also reciprocated with a hypocritical bright smile and said:

"It's good to work together, and our doors are always open for friends."

After the two sides finished speaking, then the topic can be discussed in depth, the clerk smiled, he looked at Luo Zhengdao and said:

"Does Your Highness have any detailed plans for the revival of the Empire of Light?"

"Not for the time being, I'm tired of working hard for a few years to establish Wake Reef, a territory for human exiles, and I don't have any new plans in the short term."

Listening to Luo Zhengdao's relatively negative attitude, Secretary Yaling was not very satisfied, no big action means that there is no need for more support, which is not good news for Yaling to consolidate the cooperative relationship between the two sides and avoid the established policy of elves interfering. So, he continued to probe and said:

"What if Your Highness can get an extra amount of assistance?"

Knowing that the meat part of the drama had arrived, Luo Zhengdao's eyes narrowed, and he carefully calculated in his heart where the knife was most suitable to cut from, and said:

"Can I know what the hypothetical aid is?"

"It will definitely not be less than the Elven Federation."

The personable clerk said this unhurriedly, and in Luo Zhengdao's mind, he automatically made up the other party's gritted teeth and resentful look, saying that the Yaling Empire had finally cultivated a qualified agent, and had to endure the other party's stinky temper and pay for it vigorously, and finally kept the clouds open and saw the moon, and the elf suddenly ran to pry the corner of the wall, and the uncle couldn't bear it!

At this time, Luo Zhengdao, who suddenly laughed out loud, said:

"Hahahaha, you're really kidding, why are you giving me a lot of aid? If there are harsh conditions, why do I have to accept them? ”

Two rhetorical questions in a row, Luo Zhengdao unveiled his hole cards, aid can be had, the conditions are not too outrageous, beware that Lao Tzu will turn his face. Hearing this, the royal clerk had not lived to a dog in his two hundred years of age, and a glint flashed in his eyes, and he said with a smile:

"Your Highness is a long-term person, everyone knows this, even if you are in a difficult situation now, you will not sell your future rights, this should be the principle you have always adhered to!"

"Hehe, so to speak, I'm not a person who likes to listen to other people's opinions. Hahahaha, being too stubborn is a disease, and it has to be cured! ”

"Haha, you're laughing."

Realizing the tough style of His Royal Highness the Regent, the smile on the clerk's face was somewhat reluctant, and seeing that the negotiator's face was not good, Luo Zhengdao knew that it was time to ease the atmosphere, so he changed the conversation and said:

“…… However, we are interested in assistance that is not too difficult to accept with strings attached. ”

Luo Zhengdao, who is good at calculation, is not a good character, and his bottom line has never been a top secret, which can be clarified by paying a little attention to his acting style. Accepting only a limited exchange of interests, refusing to become a puppet of any force, and having an unquestionable independence, the above points can basically cover what the so-called principles and limits of Luo Zhengdao are. The Yaling Empire obviously did not have the greedy appetite of the Elven Federation, or they had more opportunities to deal with Luo Zhengdao earlier, and tried new ideas at the beginning of the negotiations but failed to make a breakthrough, and the negotiation trajectory of the two sides returned to the tone of past successful experiences, and continued to move forward on a case-by-case basis.

Despite this, when Luo Zhengdao heard the latest mention of the royal clerk, he couldn't help but dig out his ear holes, lest he had heard poorly, and asked rhetorically:

"Marrying a Yaling celebrity?"

"Of course, this is a necessary add-on."

Luo Zhengdao, who looked distressed, grabbed his hair and said:

"Is marriage so important?"

The clerk took an extremely firm position and said without question:

"Your Highness, I sincerely hope to get your understanding and approval, for our country, this is a very important safeguard measure."

This is indeed an offensive safeguard measure, in case Luo Zhengdao hangs up for some reason, the Yaling Empire can immediately use the name of his wife's family to send someone to take over Luo Zhengdao's family business, although it is not realistic to swallow Wake Reef in one bite, and it is the proper meaning of the question to occupy the initiative in the future.

Everyone is also aware of this matter, and it would be pure nonsense to say some nonsense, Luo Zhengdao said with a stern face:

"Your Excellency, there are already candidates for my wife's position."

The royal clerk of Yaling is not a wreck who relies on the family to help the upper position, no matter how good his background is, he can't hold up the scene, he said with a smile:

"According to the edict of Emperor Taizu of the Bright Empire, the prince is one rank lower than the emperor, you can marry a wife, a wife of equal status, four noblewomen with titles, and other court ladies are not included, right?"

Thinking of the cheap old ancestor who spared no effort to promote Chinese civilization and simply had to copycat the seventy-two concubines of the three palaces and six courtyards, Luo Zhengdao really couldn't cry or laugh at the moment, so he could only nod and say:

"Yes, you want me to marry a Yalingping wife?"

"No, Your Highness, an equal wife and at least one noblewoman."

A sheep is driven, and a group of sheep is also released, Luo Zhengdao did not have too much entanglement in the number of issues, and asked bluntly:

"What about the right people to marry?"

Hearing this, the clerk said with pride:

"Your Highness don't worry about this matter, the empire will choose candidates whose origins, bloodlines, appearance and upbringing meet the requirements of the princess, you just need to give a promise."

After pondering for a while, feeling that there was no such thing as a loss, Luo Zhengdao said:

"Okay, I can accept this request, but ......"

Before he could finish speaking, the royal clerk stood up with a bright smile and said in a loud voice:

"Since you have agreed, please allow us to wish the friendship between the Empire of Light and the Yaling Empire to last forever, I have brought a bottle of the finest sparkling wine produced last year, would you like to taste it, Your Highness?"

Luo Zhengdao had no choice but to have a good drink with the other party, and when the fundamental problem was negotiated, the rest of the matter would be solved, and he also had the interest in chatting, and casually mentioned something to the clerk.

What the? The invincible Second Goblin Empire actually has an Achilles heel? When the royal clerk heard Luo Zhengdao's words, he almost spurted a mouthful of old blood on his face, and you shouldn't brag about it!

"Of course goblins will have weaknesses, even gods will fall, is there anything special about those green skins?"

The truth is true, but it is not enough to persuade the Yaling Empire to pay money to sponsor the counter-attack on the mainland project in Luo Zhengdao's mouth, so he continued to increase his weight and said:

"Goblins don't have a large population, but they have a lot of enemies!"

If the poor ravines of the main continent were scavenged, the goblin population would have died less than one or five million, and many of them were babies who survived after the establishment of the Second Goblin Empire and the improvement of living conditions. If it is calculated according to the age of fourteen or so, these goblins will only come in handy after eight to ten years, and before that, they will only be indiscriminately filled. From beginning to end, the number of young and strong people in the Second Goblin Empire was not sufficient, if it weren't for the fact that almost all the adult goblins were soldiers, they would definitely not be able to support such a big shelf as the overlord continent, let alone deter the elves and Yaling who were far overseas.

“…… Buying a scalp? ”

The royal clerk's face was a little ugly at the sound of such a terrifying topic, and although the diplomat was only a piece of paper away from the spy, discussing such an ugly topic in the secret room that violated the norms of the civilized world still made him feel like he was crawling with worms.

Luo Zhengdao didn't care what others thought of him, he said to himself:

"There are many races in the main continent, and there are many who are strong enough in combat, but they don't have a suitable reason to start a war with the goblins, who will do anything that is not beneficial?"

"Is Your Highness sure that those miscellaneous soldiers can deal with the goblin army?"

"Can't!"

Taking a breath, Luo Zhengdao added:

“…… But killing goblin civilians is not difficult. If half of the goblin population is calculated as civilians with little combat effectiveness, a piece of scalp is worth ten gold coins, and a maximum of 100 million gold coins can halve the goblin population and weaken their war mobilization ability, which is a good deal. ”

It was only at this time that the Yaling clerk who participated in the negotiation understood Luo Zhengdao's vicious intentions, which clearly showed that he wanted the Yaling Empire to spend money to destroy the goblins, and he didn't even need to touch a drop of blood on his own hands, did this guy have a demon or the devil's wisdom in his head? This method is too insidious and vicious.

From the point of view of his heart, Luo Zhengdao doesn't like this trick very much, he wants to compete with wealth, the Second Goblin Empire is not on the same level as him, and people pull hair from his body and are two circles thicker than his waistline. I can't stand the perseverance and perseverance of the Yaling Empire, I have to give Luo Zhengdao a timetable, people have sent everything, you have to show it! Luo Zhengdao, who was overwhelmed, simply threw out this trick, you can say that you are crazy, and it doesn't hurt to throw bricks and attract jade, anyway, Lao Tzu's method is given to you. Specifically, whether it can be implemented, how the plan should be arranged, and how the rewards should be cashed, these details have something to do with Luo Zhengdao? He didn't have the money to pay the bill anyway.
