Chapter 1088: Chaos (Medium)
“...... What do the troops do for food?" Prime Minister Luo Wei sat at the head with a straight face, glaring at everyone present, "What do you all eat?"
"What about your army?, why haven't I seen your army show up except me?!"
He slapped the table hard, and the sound of "bang bang bang" seemed to beat the heart of the nobles present.
No one has a good face on their faces, all of them have extremely gloomy faces, and their suspicious eyes continue to sweep over other people, and Prime Minister Luo Wei, who saw this scene, was even more angry, and couldn't help but roar: "What are you doing? What are you all doing?"
"Don't send troops to encircle and suppress them - the trade routes have been cut off several times, and you haven't sent troops to encircle and suppress them!
The more Prime Minister Luo Wei thought about it, the more angry he became, and he did not see any of the great nobles present here sending their own troops to surround and suppress the bandits blocking the trade routes.
They thought they could really take advantage of him? The whereabouts of those bandits were erratic, and how could they be eliminated if they did not carry out a comprehensive search?
One major trade route and three minor trade routes were cut off, and this group of people was not in a hurry, sitting here suspicious of each other, and still thinking that the other party's army had cut off the trade route by disguised as bandits.
This kind of thing has not happened before, and it is not surprising that a group of profit-seeking businessmen will do any kind of pickled things.
No one wants to believe the conscience of the aristocracy, no one wants to believe the conscience of the merchants, and even if there are a few good people, it is impossible to cover up the vast majority of the wicked!
Even at this time, they were still wondering if this was a play directed and acted by Prime Minister Luo Wei, otherwise how could he immediately send troops to encircle and suppress after those trade routes were cut off, and after a month or two of encirclement and suppression, there was still no result?
"I called you here this time to solve the problem, not to make you suspicious of each other!"
Seeing that the other nobles were still silent and unmoved, Prime Minister Luo Wei couldn't help but roar again: "Can you solve any problems by sitting here and suspicious of each other?
The intense emotion made him gasp for breath, and he felt hot and violently pulled his neckline open, no longer paying attention to any aristocratic etiquette.
"Your Excellency Prime Minister, I think we need a 'king'. At this time, at last, a great nobleman was willing to speak, but as soon as he spoke, he offended everyone.
With a sneer on his face, the big nobleman said: "The king can unify our opinions and suggestions, and you are only the 'prime minister' now, we are equal in status, if you really want to order us to do something, it is better to pass a parliamentary vote and become the 'king'." ”
"I think you'd better keep your mouth shut, Sir Rogers!" another great nobleman spat, "we don't need a king anymore, 'noble self-government' and 'council' are the institutions of Moore today, which we voted on together a few years ago!"
Hearing this, Marquis Rogers shrugged his shoulders helplessly, "Isn't that the problem solved? No one wants to be ordered by others, so I think this meeting should end here, and no one will choose to send troops anyway." ”
"I agree with Duke Norvi's proposal!" Prime Minister Lowe grimaced, glancing at everyone, "The one who agrees to keep the Marquis of Rogers shut up raises his hand...... Well, unanimously passed, Marquis Rogers, you can leave, you can't speak after this anyway!"
Marquis Rogers' eyes widened, but when he saw that everyone was looking at him, he snorted coldly, leaned back in his chair with his arms folded, but did not leave the conference room.
Because he didn't know if the group of guys would join forces to calculate himself after he left, he couldn't leave.
Seeing him like this, the others knew what he was thinking, and Prime Minister Luo Wei couldn't help but sigh again: "Is it useful to go on like this? The main trade route is cut off, and no one can make money, is it interesting?"
Duke Norvi's eyes wandered over everyone, and he suddenly frowned and said in a deep voice: "I'll just say it clearly, I'm afraid that when I send troops to encircle and suppress the bandits, the bandits are actually pretended by your army, and at that time, if I have a heart or not, I will lose!"
After the duke's voice fell, the other nobles scrambled to ridicule each other, "You are afraid, we are still afraid!"
"Who knows if those bandits are real or not?"
"Who here will tell me the bottom line, is there anyone who wants to make quick money?"
The words of the great nobles blurted out, which made the atmosphere of the council worse and worse.
Marquis Rogers watched coldly, with a sneer on his face, he planned to see how Prime Minister Rowe would end!
Judging from the current situation, no one plans to send troops, all under the guise of letting Prime Minister Rowe do everything alone!
He didn't know these people, because he was one of them, and he thought the same way, and he had this idea.
Anyway, most of the truncated trade routes are operated by Prime Minister Rowe's family, and the main trade route is also that family occupies a larger share, on the contrary, the business of other people has not been affected too much, why should they help him?
The atmosphere in this country is like this, and now Luo Wei wants to use the power of the state to eliminate the bandits, but he is unwilling to give up profits...... Oh, whoever goes is a fool!
"Shut up!
Prime Minister Rowe banged frantically on the table, but the atmosphere in the conference room felt like it was getting more and more intense.
This is always the case, even when there was a 'king', but at some point the country has become less like a country...... Of course, it can also be said that this was never a country.
They have hardly been united, except for the 'suppression of neighboring countries' and the expulsion of the goddess of wealth, and there seems to be no relationship with each other except for the collusion of interests.
Ding Ding Ding!
Just then, Prime Minister Rowe's cell phone rang.
As one of the rulers of a country, he naturally possessed this advanced technology product that represented the forefront of the times.
Impatiently, he picked up his phone and looked at it twice, and Prime Minister Luo Wei fell into a momentary stupor, and then smiled again.
"It's the bed bugs from underground!" Prime Minister Rowe smiled and put his phone on the table, and it wasn't long before the other people's phones rang as well.
They picked up their phones in disbelief, and their pupils shrank.
"Those damn maggots!" Marquis Rogers couldn't help but curse when he saw the message on his phone.
"Are they going to cut off our financial routes, and then occupy our country?" said Duke Norvi with a fist on the table, "They don't want to!"
The messy conference room finally fell silent, and in the short two or three minutes, everyone was on the same page.
This made Prime Minister Luo Wei can't help but sigh, this is the power of the 'new era', although he dislikes the head maid very much, but he has to be sure that she has brought many 'good' changes to the world - of course, there are also some bad changes for the 'nobility'.
But so what? At least now that the problem has been largely resolved, the root cause of the solution is just a 'message'......
Of course, this is fake news, but it is also true news.
Don't look at those people who are full of righteous indignation, when it comes to the need for them to send troops, they will shirk their responsibilities one by one.
But that's what he needs, and as long as they all shirk their responsibilities, then in the end, no one will know about his deal with the Drow Elves.
Anyway, what Drow wants to occupy is not his territory, outside his territory, so what kind of land can't help but be occupied by them?
After that, as long as he secretly maintains contact with Drow, then he will definitely be able to gain more benefits...... Now it's just a small sacrifice of some interests, and it's not in the way.
