Chapter 90: Traveling with Mr
Max was embarrassed and weak, he was a close minister of the second prince, and it was surprising that he had fallen to such a point.
Luo Lan was jealous of Max, and he even wondered if Max was playing a bitter trick in order to find out the situation on Phuket Island.
So Luo Lan didn't say a word, and tied up Max first.
Several fishing boats surrounded him, and the soldiers pulled out ropes to capture Max. Max didn't resist, he hung his head slightly, like a dying man.
The soldiers successfully tied Max to shore.
Luo Lan walked over with his hands in his hands, pretending to be surprised: "Oh, isn't this Mr. Max?" Hurry up and untie yourself, how can you do this to Mr. Max! ”
The soldiers looked confused and untied Max again. Max laughed at himself, coughed twice, and pressed his palm to his chest to salute: "Max has seen the eldest prince." ”
He was weak, seemed to have not eaten for several days, and his body was quite weak.
Luo Lan didn't ask the purpose, he smiled and ordered the soldiers: "Take Mr. Max to the palace and settle it well." ”
The soldiers immediately said yes, and asked Max to go to the palace. Max glanced at Luo Lan and went to the palace silently.
He was imprisoned by Luo Lan.
This captivity is five days.
Luo Lan continued to fish and hunt leisurely, sometimes to the countryside, sometimes to the grassland to ride horses, he seemed to have forgotten the person Max.
And Max was already in good health, he was locked up in a house, unable to move around, guarded by the Guards.
Max was not in a hurry, he sat by the window and looked out with amazement.
Flat, clean streets, bustling shops, bustling markets, and quirky public toilets......
This small city is obviously different from any other city on the mainland, and that is a fundamental difference.
Max still hasn't seen enough after watching it for several days, and sometimes he suddenly cries when he looks at it, and he doesn't know what he thinks of.
On the sixth day, Education Minister Ellie appeared.
She brought a plate of fragrant cooked steak and a bottle of premium rum to bring Maes lunch.
Max smelled the fragrance and couldn't help but swallow. He didn't care about Ellie, he only cared about the steak.
"I remember that there are few cattle in the north of Phuket Island, and there are not even a few ploughing cattle, and the eldest prince still kills cattle for meat?" Max asked more serious questions as he drooled.
Elle said casually: "This is not a cow from the north, it is from the southern state, and it was brought over in the morning to be slaughtered." ”
Ellie's words startled Max, who thought he had misheard.
"Cattle in the southern state? Transported over for slaughter? This...... How is this done? ”
Max stood up, the surprise on his face could not be concealed. Ellie sat down in a chair and ate her own steak.
"We have canals and sea lanes, and it's very simple to transport a few cows, and transport them to the northern market to be slaughtered and sold. In order to entertain you, the prince specially sent someone to buy a few catties, and it was quite delicious. Elle said and ate, unceremoniously.
Max looked at her in a daze, the maid was very strange and ate her steak.
But Max didn't have time to think about this little question, and he had a more shocking question, which was not why Utan Pradesh sold beef, but about the market.
"You mean, you already have a trade market? Northerners can even eat beef from the South? Max exclaimed, and Elle puffed out her mouth and nodded, "yes, is it weird?" ”
Max was speechless for a moment.
Elle lifted Erro's leg and ate all the steak, leaving only a bottle of rum.
She said with a satisfied face: "Don't tell Luo Lan that I ate your lunch, otherwise he will scold me, and if he scolds me, I can't help but beat him, and it's not good if I'm injured." ”
Satisfied, Ellie walked away comfortably.
Max opened his mouth, his mind was a mess, what kind of maid is this?
Just as he was in doubt, the door was pushed open, and the hearty Prince Luo Lan strode in.
"Hahaha, Mr. Max, you look much better, are you still used to living these days?"
Luo Lan was quite enthusiastic, glanced at the steak plate and smiled: "Mr. Max seems to like beef." ”
Max smiled reluctantly: "It's okay." ”
"No, you don't have any grease stains on your mouth, did Elle eat it?" Luo Lan found something wrong, and her old face turned black.
Max smiled wryly.
Luo Lan snorted: "The woman in this church is really arrogant, relying on Bina's favor and not taking me seriously, she is angry with me." ”
Max's ears moved: "Miss Bina? ”
"Yes, she is the queen of Phuket, and everyone around her doesn't take me seriously, and now even a maid dares to steal steak, it's really infuriating!"
Luo Lan acted so realistically that Max almost believed it.
But Max still didn't believe it in the end, he shook his head and smiled: "His Royal Highness the eldest prince is really humorous, and he made a big joke with a few steaks." ”
Max paused and sighed softly, "Although Sister Bina has a good heart, she doesn't know how to govern the country, and the achievements of Phuket Island have little to do with her, Your Highness should not forcibly attribute the credit to Bina." ”
Max is so smart that he has already seen Luo Lan's tricks, and Luo Lan just wants to draw Max's attention to Bina.
Luo Lan was exposed and smiled straightforwardly: "What is the reason why Mr. is coming to Phuket?" ”
He sat down and naturally drank the rum. Max looked out the window: "The eldest prince hasn't seen me for a few days, I'm afraid he is thinking about what to do with me." From this incident, it can be seen that the eldest prince's intelligence is really not good, and if the eldest prince had done a good job of information, he should have known that I had already been discarded by Barron. ”
Max's words made Luo Lan's eyes light up, and he put down the rum and asked, "What do you think, sir?" ”
"The eldest prince sealed the border so that his news would not leak out, but he also neglected to inquire about the outside world. The eldest prince did not know that more than 100,000 people had been displaced in the southern plains; The trade in the Western Regions of the Nanshan Kingdom was broken, and grain imports were largely dependent on the east; The Adri fleet fought a battle with the Sin City fleet, losing a third of its strength. ”
Max said quietly, and his strategizing aura was obvious.
"Mr. specially told me these three things, I don't know what the meaning is?" Luo Lan's expression was solemn.
Max was silent for a moment and said: "The Southern Plains Territory will be in turmoil at any time, and the power of the peasants cannot be ignored, if someone leads the organization, it will pose a great threat to the Southern Plains Territory." ”
"Nanshan Country is extremely short of food, and now it is more dependent on the eastern coast, the eldest prince can sit on the ground and raise the price, and seek the technology of Nanshan Nan, and the manufacturing technology of Nanshan Country is something that all countries covet."
"Phuket Island can't compete for hegemony on land, only to go to the ocean. Now that there is a dispute between the two fleets, the eldest prince can pave the way for future development if he intervenes at the right time. Even if the eldest prince doesn't have gold, it would be a good thing to provide some food for a certain large fleet. ”
Max said, as if he had exhaled all the turbidity in his chest, and showed a rare smile: "I don't know much about Phuket Island, these are just casual jokes. ”
"Mr. woke up the dreamer with a word, and Luo Lan was very grateful." Luo Lan got up and bent down to thank him, and Max looked at him: "Can you let me go out for a walk?" I want to see Phuket. ”
"Of course, I'll travel with my husband, Ellie, prepare the horses."
"Holo." Ellie, who was eavesdropping outside the house, ran away.
