"Shelley, if you really have such thoughts, then I can't talk to you as your uncle in the future, do you understand?"

This was somewhat threatening, and to put it bluntly, Scher wanted Shelley to know where he standed. No matter what, it was impossible for Saxie to do something detrimental to the kingdom of Lean.

Even if it was the mineral matter that was said at the beginning, Sachet was originally going to hand it over to Shelley in the form of half selling and half giving, but now he had to cancel this plan because of his position.

Shelley, of course, understood what he was trying to convey, and she asked Morley to pull out a chair for Scher.

"I naturally understand what my uncle meant, no matter what we talk about today, we will put aside our original position, in fact, I am the goal I originally wanted to pursue. Uncle, please be seated. ”

Sachet sighed and slowly sat down in his seat.

"Tell me, what is your purpose?"

"I said I wanted the border state to give it to me...... That's certainly impossible. ”

Shelley's first words did almost scare Saxie, and when the two sides were in a showdown, Shelley still asked for the border state in front of him, which was undoubtedly no different from declaring war. Thankfully, she immediately took the words back, but Sache didn't let up at all.

This kind of practice of throwing the purpose directly on the table at the beginning of the scene actually clearly told Thatcher that Shelley would not touch this red line, but it was just not touched. It also means that as long as the red line is not touched, there will be no upper limit to what Shelley proposes next.

"Uncle, how much tax does the border state contribute to the country every year?"

Sache smiled bitterly, how much tax can the border state contribute to the country? It's good for the state to lose money on it. Although the border states are very large and very long (think of the Mongolian provinces), this area is set aside specifically to deal with the border forests.

Because it serves as a fortress between the human world and the border forest, the Li'an Kingdom often has to add money to it for national defense. There is also embezzlement of taxes and state grants by the powerful in the border states. So on the whole, it is a loss in this area.

However, it is impossible for Lean to give up the border states, although the accounting problems on the border states are loss-making. But elsewhere, it brought a staggering amount of income to the kingdom of Lean.

As mentioned before, the Li'an Kingdom has always used the geographical location of the border state to consolidate its status as a powerful country, so that other countries in the human world have to invest money in it every year and sign various strategic agreements with the Li'an Kingdom.

Therefore, the question asked by Shelley is actually unsolvable, although the border state itself does not generate much value, as long as it exists there, it can affect other aspects and make the Li'an Kingdom profitable.

And Shelley is naturally very clear about this problem. So seeing Sachet's wry smile, Shelley didn't sell it anymore.

"I don't have any interest in other countries on the issue of border states, whether it is the money that has been invested in the Kingdom of Li'an, or whether it is a strategic agreement. As for my question, we naturally know the answer. ”

"Why do you ask this question if you know? I declare well, you will never be able to take the border state. ”

The corners of Shelley's mouth rose: "What about the words, don't say it so absolutely, the reason why this border state country will not let go is nothing more than because it can bring very considerable diplomatic income to the country." As I said earlier, I'm not interested in that. What if, on top of that, I tell you, I will pay taxes to the royal capital every year after that? And the amount of this tax definitely exceeds the amount of tax generated by the royal capital itself. ”

Sachet's brow furrowed even tighter, and it stands to reason that this kind of thing is a person who will be short of breath when he hears it. But he didn't, not because he didn't think it was good, but because he didn't believe Shelley could do it at all.

"Shelley, it's not good to deceive."

"Uncle, I also said it just now, don't say it so absolutely. I'm just going to ask you to answer, if I do, can the border states be made autonomous regions and let me administer them? ”

"Autonomous region? Not breaking away from the kingdom of Lean? ”

"Of course, if you break away from the Li'an Kingdom, how can you take the money of other countries, and how can you take the taxes I gave?"

"Huh...... Hehe, Shelley, you're really confusing me, what's in it for you? "Soaring Chinese

"It's none of your business. You just say it's okay or not. ”

Sache smiled and nodded: "If it's true, no fool should refuse such a thing." ”

Hearing Sachet's answer, Shelley kept smiling, but there was a hint of disappointment in his eyes. And this was caught by Sachet.

"What? Isn't that the answer you want to hear? ”

"Strictly speaking, it's an answer I could have anticipated a long time ago, so ......"

That's why I'm a little disappointed.

Shelley shook his head slightly, sure enough, in the hearts of these people, there is no concept of the unification of the world. As long as the interests are sufficient, you can split as much as you want.

Although this made Shelley a little disappointed in the people of this world, it was a good thing for her. This means that it is now easier for the human world to dominate the world. Of course, Shelley didn't say these words.

"Okay, don't hide it, my answer has already told you, just say it if you have anything to say."

Shelley nodded: "Since my uncle thinks that there is no problem with the matter I just mentioned, it means that my father's side will not have an opinion on this matter." Then that's easy. Give me three months, and I will personally send to my father with a year's tax revenue from the royal capital and a contract to transfer the border states to me for self-government. ”

"Are you serious?"

"There is absolutely no falsehood, and everything we are going to talk about next is based on the autonomy of the border states."

Sachet took a deep breath: "But your ultimate goal is still to build a country?" ”

"Of course." Shelley nodded without hesitation.

"I see, the autonomy of the border states is just an excuse for you to dispel other forces against you, right?"

"Uncle Gaojian."

Yes, the border states are completely self-governing but will not break away from the kingdom of Lean, so even if some people realize that Shelley will establish a state in the future, they will not have any reason to raise an army against Shelley now.

"Do you think I would agree to such a thing if I knew what you were thinking?"

"Haha, then do you think I don't have the confidence to dare to talk to you about this so blatantly?" Shelley's eyes were full of confidence, "I can assert now, whether you want to or not, this matter will definitely follow the process I said, you have no choice." ”

Sache felt a little angry in his heart, and said with a sneer: "Okay, then let me see my niece's methods." ”

"Uncle should have heard that I have subdued some alien races and demonic beasts under my command."

"What? What do you think would be the best if you subdue some aliens and monsters? ”

"Naturally, you won't think so, the country has a lot of filthy soldiers, there are really alien races and demonic beasts attacking, you can now use the holy stone to coerce the filthy soldiers to block the front as cannon fodder."

"If you know, it's ......"

"I can make the Holy Stone ineffective."

One sentence made Sachet unable to sit still any longer, and he stood up from his seat with a pale face.
