Chapter 905: High Banquet

"Breaking trade tariffs can allow goods to circulate more and faster between countries, and I think you should understand that when goods circulate, money will be generated and more labor will be used!"

Downton glanced at it and noticed that more and more people had gathered, and some of them even showed thoughtful expressions because of his words.

"Trade barriers are such things, that is, obstacles to economic development, you can not only look at how much tax you have collected, but also look at how many things you have sold, of course, with high import taxes to ensure the production and value of certain goods in the country, it is also necessary, in a word, these conditions outweigh the disadvantages, you can talk, but you must be detailed. ”

The emissaries were not economists after all, and Downton was more general, and it was difficult to pick out the thorns.

"And the war, the Northern Community was formed, all the conflicts and contradictions can be arbitrated through the joint council, how many fewer deaths can be made?"

After Downton finished speaking, he was suddenly stunned, damn it, if a community was formed, how would he still be able to conquer the kingdoms? and lay down a huge territory? And he understood that the seats in the northern council would inevitably be controlled by those powerful kingdoms, and at that time, he would really be unable to speak.

"How do you ensure the fairness of the joint parliament? How do you choose those members? We third-rate countries should not have a chance to be elected, right?"

Doubts have been raised.

"Therefore, there should be a supervisory body, and any decision should be made by a fair vote of each member state as far as possible, and not by the great empires. ”

Downton didn't want to say more, once this northern community was implemented, it could indeed bring great benefits, but this was for those big empires, a third-rate country like itself, there was simply no room for development. Can only become a vassal of those empires.

"The one who proposed this plan must be a political genius!"

After Downton sighed, even Homer couldn't help but nod in agreement.

There was silence in the chapel, and everyone was thinking about Downton's words, and what changes this community would bring to the country, because they had not experienced it. So they're all a little overwhelmed.

Smack!

Applause suddenly rang out, and everyone turned around to see a man in a red robe standing behind everyone, wearing a shield-shaped badge on his chest, with a red background, and three golden lions branded on it, in addition to that, next to the badge, he was also wearing a red rose. It is dotted with dewdrops, like the first rain clearing.

Seeing this man, all the envoys present bowed their heads and bowed slightly with their upper bodies.

"Young man, what you say is very insightful!"

The man has a Chinese face, a pair of thick eyebrows and big eyes, but he does not have a temperament that is not angry and arrogant, but is full of easy-going. He has a well-groomed beard on his lips that he habitually strokes.

"Your Excellency has praised it!"

Downton saluted. He didn't dare to hold it up, the badge of the Three Lions represented his family from the Holy Breton Empire, and the red rose represented his family.

Except for the Nine Empires, no country is qualified to have the word 'holy' in front of its name, and among the Nine Empires. And only Brittania can be crowned with the word 'sacred', because only Queen Madeleine defeated the Holy See of Light and made the monarchy more than theocracy.

Although this peerless powerhouse, who has the title of the Rose of the Demon Palace and one of the Eight Great Holy Coffins, has been dead for tens of thousands of years, the power of the Flame Sect is still struggling in Brittania.

Queen Madeleine, who started the great Plantagenet dynasty. is a wise emperor and a domineering monarch, although the glory of the empire on which the sun never sets is dissipating and the empire is declining, no one dares to underestimate her.

Brittania has the longest history and is the oldest aristocracy!

When the House of St. York and the House of Lancaster fought a millennium war known as the War of the Red and White Roses, the head of the Hohenzollern family did not know where to play in the mud.

The Plantagenet family, the Tudor family, the Carolingian family, and even the Kyrgyz family, etc., are all famous, history can write dozens of court operas, Brittania has the most wealthy families, even if some of them are declining, you can also point to the big empire of those wealthy families to laugh at a sentence, these buns!

In fact, even if the wealthy families of the Nine Great Empires stood in front of them, they did not have the confidence to claim to be nobles.

Don't look at this man as just a marquis of the St. York family, but no one dares to slack off, even the younger brothers who are close to other imperial giants, they all give the greatest courtesy and respect at this time.

"You guys keep talking, it's too noisy inside, I'm just out to relax!"

Marquis Gerald waved his hand, signaling everyone to be free, it was too noisy inside, he was really not used to it, so he came out to rest, of course, with his status, no one dared to raise an objection.

Downton's opinion was good, and it was a young man, which was commendable, so Gerrard walked up to him.

"You ......"

Gerard took the initiative to ask, and I don't know how many people present were red with jealousy.

"I am Downton of Frankfurt, Your Excellency!"

Downton touched his chest with one hand and saluted again.

"Oh, you're the native duke?"

Gerald teased, he didn't mean to slander, he wanted to ask a few more words, but suddenly saw the ring on Downton's right finger, his eyes were slightly condensed, and he forgot everything he wanted to speak.

"Your Excellency?" Downton frowned, "are you alright?"

"It's okay, it's just a little dizzy, and it makes you laugh!" Gerard smiled and shook his head, secretly saying that he was too careful.

"Gerald, come in, I'm going to be speechless to be refuted!"

In the chapel, a roar suddenly sounded, and some envoys who were not strong were directly dizzy from the shock.

No one dares to complain, and whoever dares to call Gerard by his name like this must also be a wealthy nobleman of the empire!

A conference like this, which involves the northern nations and may have a heavy impact for hundreds of years to come, cannot be simply concluded, so even if the emissaries are unwilling, they have to wait.

A simple but irritable day was spent in arguments and quarrels, and although there was no progress, everyone's expressions were good, at least it began. It means that there is hope.

As the organizer, Saint-Gertland generously donated to hold a large-scale banquet at the palace of the Snowman King, feasting envoys from all over the world.

Everyone who attends the meeting can bring one or two female companions, and Downton naturally chose Rosicky and Juliet. Finally, they can go home and have a look at it openly.

"I'm going too!"

Little Lori pouted dissatisfiedly, she could hang a soy sauce bottle.

"Of course I want to go!"

Downton smiled, and people didn't stop a little girl.

"Hopefully I won't be disgraced!"

Serex was very nervous, since the last time she attended a high-class banquet, the long ago has disappeared from memory, and some etiquette seems to have been forgotten.

The banquet began at eight o'clock, but the traffic in front of the brightly lit palace was already busy, and the luxurious carriages came one after another, and the men and women in full costume walked down.

this day. I don't know how many people have tried their best to get an invitation and enter the banquet, which means a huge opportunity here.

When the carriage drove by, Downton saw some people looking at the palace and the passing carriage, his face was full of envy, and he couldn't help but sigh, when. He is also a civilian boy who dreams of living this life.

Today's female guests are all dressed in gorgeous dresses and compete with each other. Eager to be the center of attention at the banquet, they were all overshadowed the moment Celes stepped out of the carriage.

The doorman looked at Cerles, who stepped on the red carpet, his chin wide open, completely distracted.

The white court dress is just right to expose the fragrant shoulders, back, and chest. The unique fair and translucent skin of the Banshee of Death, coupled with an innocent and beautiful cheek, is simply full of lethality to men.

At this moment, many men were glared at fiercely by their female companions.

"My Deboro, the Banshee of Death, seems to have a good relationship with the native duke?"

"That banshee can't be his personal magic advisor, is she? There is no such glamour ~ blessing!"

"Look, the other one seems to be a death knight, tsk, dare to enter human society so openly, this guy is bold enough!"

The nobles whispered, envious beyond measure, the death banshee was born, that is, the nobles of the undead clan, not to mention the innate magic physical attack immunity, the most important thing is that it is too difficult to catch them, let alone tune ~ so obedient.

If it weren't for the name of the indigenous Duke of Downton, someone would have come up to talk to him, and as for the identity of the undead, they didn't care, if memory serves, Downton is a Templar, so it makes sense that he is followed by the undead.

There was a waiter who came over with a wine tray, and the service was so thoughtful that people had nothing to say.

"What to drink?"

Downton took a glass of red wine.

"Champagne!"

Looking at the familiar snow-covered words on the champagne bottle, Serex finally managed to hold back her tears.

The big man is always the best to arrive, this is the privilege of others, but everyone did not wait long, at eight o'clock, King Xueman took the stage to give a speech.

"It's my uncle's bloodline!"

Looking at the king who had made an impassioned statement, Rosicky drank the whiskey from his glass in one gulp.

Downton estimated that he would be carrying Rosicky home today.

"Have fun, please take care of yourself!"

The king toasted, and everyone did the same, and after drinking together, the atmosphere began to become warm.

The three Downtons remained alone, and no one else visited except for the Guise family and Bavarian diplomats.

"Wow, that's a lot of food, can I let go of my belly and eat it?"

Although he was ignored, Downton was not depressed.

"Why can't you eat it?"

The walnut was already moving, piling up food on the plate.

"People hold banquets to communicate, enhance relationships, and expand contacts, not to eat and drink!"

Homer was speechless, everyone who could come to this kind of banquet was used to eating delicious food, who would lack those few bites?

"Whatever!"

Downton picked up his fork and prepared to feast. (To be continued......)
