If there is no progress in exploration, there can be no development and excavation, and even if you know that the vein is under your feet, but without an accurate report, no one dares to open their mouths and point to the surface under their feet and say, just dig down here. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoIn a feudal society without the emancipation of labor, the financial and human resources consumed by the excavation of a mineral vein are extremely large. Why do all the aristocrats like those veins in the open air and have little interest in the veins hidden deep underground?

That's because if the vein is not found, the loss of money is something that no nobleman is willing to bear.

Moreover, the current situation is not that the mine cannot be found, but that Wren and Empress Pars cannot get along, and Wren does not let the empire mine this vein. He would rather this Tiberian spar vein be hidden deep underground forever, rather than lose the initiative in the distribution of shares. Without this vein, he will not have any losses, and owning this mine but not being able to occupy a sufficient proportion will make him weaker, so don't dig it at all.

Saiya and Fred scraped together another 400 willing men and set off with them, this time with a large number of more than 500 people. But it was still useless, and as soon as they left the borders of Venier, the bandits who came and went like the wind appeared again, and once again plundered them completely, and returned in vain.

In the face of Wren's shameless behavior, Saiya and Fred really had no choice but to truthfully report the situation here to the bigwigs in the imperial capital.

For this reason, Empress Pars also had a brief communication with Wren, but the process was not pleasant.

Wren repeatedly emphasized that the Tiberium spar was private property, and he could selflessly contribute to it for the empire to mine, but in terms of share, he must take ten points, and if there is one less, everyone will be scattered and stared. His tough attitude was a headache for Queen Pars, and Wren was in Bell Province, and the entire province was his own territory, and he had tough capital. It is even more unlikely that Empress Pars will send troops to fight against Wren's arrogance for a vein, the Imperial Diet will not support her such a move, and the nobles in the imperial capital will not be willing.

Since there is no way to take Rennes now, then I have to compromise. Politics is like ...... , no, it's just a skilled woman, as long as there are enough chips, whether to play innocence or whip depends on personal interests.

"The first thing we want to do today is to resolve the issue of the Tiberian spar veins in Bell Province. On Parliament Day, the Imperial courtiers and nobles gathered, and Empress Pars threw this troublesome matter to everyone, instead of trying to solve it herself, "I believe that no one will have an objection to the exploitation of this vein, and the only trouble that needs to be solved now is that Viscount Wren believes that this vein is a private deposit in the city of Veneil, protected by the laws of the Empire, and does not belong to the public resources." ”

As Her Majesty's number one loyal servant, the Imperial Prime Minister knowingly asked, "Is what he said true?

After two attempts to leave the Veneil border and be robbed, Fred directly picked the fault and quit, Saiya had a second thought, he led the people to carefully explore the territory of Veneer, but found nothing, proving that the vein is indeed not in the territory of Veneer. But it's useless to say it, it can't satisfy Wren, even if it goes to war, he doesn't care.

Empress Pars nodded, "That's true. As soon as she finished speaking, a palace guard walked in with a backboard hanging from the map of the Empire, followed by a scholar with a whip. After the map was facing all the nobles, the scholar took the whip and carried it a little more south-easterly in the imperial capital, and near the place where his whip landed, there was a place outlined by a thick red line, "This is the area of Veneer City, where we think the veins ......"

The whip in his hand pointed a little further east of the border with Venier, "This is land that is not owned by the Empire, and when the territory was divided, this place was not chosen by any noble, and it has always been like this. ”

The courtiers and nobles present nodded their heads one after another, it was very intuitive and simple, if this was indeed the case, then what Empress Pars said was not wrong, and what she did was not wrong, the public resources belonged to the entire empire and the ruling class, and the vast majority of people could share the benefits, just how much.

"Your Majesty!", a forty-something man stood up facing the nobleman who looked a little mean, he bowed slightly, with a gold family emblem hanging on his chest, and the gold thread outlined the appearance of an eagle all the time, "I think the most important thing now is that Viscount Rennes should come to the imperial capital to report on his work, during the civil strife in Bell, Viscount Rennes's outstanding performance should be given him higher recognition and rewards, we can't let our heroes quell the war without getting any glory." ”

Immediately, someone gave a look of approval, what this guy said is very reasonable, as long as Wren is transferred, the few remaining nobles in the province of Ebel, under the support of Wren, I am afraid that they will not dare to directly resist the order of the imperial empress like Wren. By the time Wren returned to Bell Province, the matter was already a foregone conclusion, and if he still had to make a fuss, not only would he not be able to take the initiative, but he would also make a mistake, and let Empress Pars hold his vital point, which would be enough to force him to comply.

Look, this is the aristocrat who eats people and does not spit out bones. It's obviously a very inferior means, but it's so high-sounding to say it, it seems that it's still for Wren's injustice. Therefore, politics is a dirty thing, reversing right and wrong, there is no absolute right and wrong, and there is a contest of interests.

"I mentioned the idea to Viscount Wren, but he vetoed it on the spot. Empress Pars was not surprised, she had tried, but nothing had worked, so she decided to throw the pot to all the nobles who could get a good fortune from the Tiberium spar vein. "Viscount Wren replied to me that he was now busy with the war against the Barbarians, and that there was still a lot of post-war resettlement and reconstruction work to be completed, so he could not leave the province of Bell for a while. ”

The mean-looking nobleman said thoughtfully: "Viscount Wren...... It seems to be the lord of Ortrenburg, right? The war did not spread to Ortlenburg, and the black barbarians were also defeated, so he should have time. The meaning of this sentence is that Your Majesty Pars, you are working hard, don't be too busy jumping to conclusions.

To put it bluntly, these nobles didn't want to take the blame either, so they threw the pot back. I gave you advice if you don't take it, so you can do it yourself.

With that, he sat back.

The corners of Empress Pars's mouth twitched, these bitches raised them, and cursed in their hearts.

Her face was silent, her body leaned back slightly, her left hand folded on her lap gently pressed on the armrest, her eyes closed slightly, and with a small movement, the emperor's momentum was undoubtedly revealed.

With silence, I hit back at these bastards, and if it's a big deal, I don't care anyway.

Pilagos, who played a key role in the whole matter, smiled calmly and stood up, "Your Majesty, as a very important strategic resource, the Tiberium Crystal has a vital position for the security and rule of the entire empire. If we didn't know that there were these things hidden, we could wait, but if we did, it meant that the Full Moon and the Byronic Empire knew about it. Naturally, they can't mine the veins that are buried in the ground, but that doesn't mean they can't destroy them. ”

He looked around, except for a few leaders of the noble group who dared to look at him, everyone else looked away, trying to avoid his gaze, "As far as I know, there are at least three alchemical potions that can contaminate the Tiberian hedron veins and cause permanent damage. Once Full Moon and Byron react, they will inevitably send dead men to destroy this vein, so I think the sooner it is mined, the better it will be for the security and stability of the empire. ”

Empress Pars opened her eyes and looked at Pilagos, a figure she could hardly describe her opinion of him, for good or not. Although the aristocratic group is the number one enemy of the royal family, it is undeniable that the aristocratic group is also in the vanguard of maintaining the stability of the ruling class. They wanted more than Empress Pars for the stability of the ruling class, and for the stability and strength of the empire. The overthrow of the rule of the royal family is certainly a beautiful ideal, but the ideal does not necessarily mean that it must be realized.

In particular, the realization of this ideal will come at an extremely heavy price, and many people may become dust of history without even seeing the results.

"What do you think, Marquis Pilagos?" the Chancellor asked Empress Pars.

Pilagos smiled contagiously, "Why don't we try to resolve such a small contradiction with more gentle means?" Your Majesty, if you can show your generosity in this matter, I am sure that all will be impressed by your generosity and style. ”

Empress Pars almost laughed out loud, why should I come out alone to fill the hole?" she immediately retorted: "As you said, this matter is related to the safety and stability of the entire empire, you are all rulers of the empire, I can give one percent, but you should also contribute to the stability of the empire, just like your ancestors, even your lives can be sacrificed." ”

Once you reach such a situation, you can't keep your face, and your actual interests are more important than your face.

Pilagos pursed his lips and nodded, "I only represent the Yuresa family and take out 0.5 percent as a bargaining chip to promote the speed of mining veins. ”

The entire congress hall was boiling in an instant, people were arguing over a tiny number, and some even threw their shoes!
